Carlos, my son, is 24 years old and just graduated from Sac University with a degree in philosophy. As a single mother, I've had my share of struggles, but the unwavering support and love from my family have been the cornerstone of these achievements. Ashley, 22 years old, is my only baby girl, and Januel, my last child, is 13. It's a juggling act to balance work, school, and being there for my kids, but the strength of my family (especially from my mother) bond has made it all possible.

The vacation we love to go on is in my country. I always wanted my children to meet my family and see my culture, background, and how life is not easy, especially for those working in the field, for $8.00 per day. I wanted them to see how hard our lives can be when we don’t have a career, to make them appreciate their opportunities, and to understand the value of empathy in relating to others' experiences.

Being with my mother on this vacation is the best of the best. We go to places I could not see when I grew up in my country, and the fun part is being with my family. I can say that I feel blessed, grateful, and emotionally happy. Now, my country is a haven I can go to any day and time without fear. We are thankful for our president, Nayib Bukele. Everything changed thanks to his fantastic job as president.

We went for Christmas to my country in 2021, and I received the worst pain ever in a phone call saying my dad had died back on January 02, 2022. This moment was so painful that I could not say “Hasta Pronto Papi.” See you soon, Daddy. I was always his baby girl, even in my early forties. Because of the pandemic, it took some time for us to receive his body since it was a lengthy procedure for us to do his funeral. On February 14, they called me to say my father was ready to put him on the plane. My dad always advised my sister and me that he wanted his funeral, where he was born, his roots, and his family around. We cut him a cake because we were all three born on February 15th, with different years. My father, my sister, and I used to celebrate our triple birthday together. It was excruciating knowing my dad would not be with us long; he was turning sixty-one, my sister was forty-four, and I was forty-two. The pain of not being able to say goodbye is something that haunts me. We were at his funeral, and at the same time, it was our triple birthday. Our shared grief brought us closer, and we found strength in each other. I still have so much pain, and it is hard for me, but this is life.

My older sister graduated last year, and even though my dad is not with us anymore, we will always bring his photograph to celebrate our goals with him. Two years after his death, we still miss him so much. I have so much more to say, but this is me and my lovely small family, a beautiful tapestry of distinct cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.
